Applications
The ATV58 Type FVC product is recommended in place of the ATV58 TRX Type H drive controllers in
the following applications:
Applications that require encoder feedback and the installation of an I/O extension card or a
communication card
Applications that require PID regulation of a process loop
Applications requiring improved open loop torque performance at low speed
Applications requiring high torque performance at low speed with encoder feedback
Applications requiring holding torque at zero speed
The ATV58 Ty pe FVC product has the foll owing hardw are not suppl ied with the ATV58 TRX Type H base
product:
Differential analog input, +/- 10 Vdc (+10 Vdc supplied from drive)
RS422 encoder input, 5 V (max. frequency input: 200 kHz)
Encoder power supply (5 V, 200 mA)
A keypad is supplied with the drive controller
The ATV58 Type FVC product has the foll owing software features not supp lied with the ATV58 TRX Type
H base product:
Faster motor control algorithm in open loop and closed loop
PID regulator with trim input
Motor pre-fluxing options; continuous or by logic input
Ability to customize the shape of the acceleration and deceleration ramps. Selectable acceleration
and deceleration ramp increments are 0.1seconds or 0.01 seconds.
Ability to use +/- speed trim around a speed reference input
PI and IP mode of operation for matching initial response time vs.ability to suppress speed o versh oot
Variable torque macro has been removed. No variable torque ratings.
The ATV58 Type FVC drive controller is rated for Constant Torque (CT) applications. Constant Torque
applications usually require motor-rated torque through the entire speed range, high transient torque
capability, and precise speed regulation.
